Pro Comp VS Superlift

I am looking for opinions in lifts and dont want to spend alot of money. I am looking at A Pro comp 6.5 or a 6inch superlift and am looking for some input on them.

I have a Pro Comp with Mx 6 shocks dual in the front. I enjoy the ride, this is the second truck I have put a Procomp lift on. No squeeks, or rough ride. Superlfit is a nice one as well I dont know too much about them though. The Forum Favorite seems to be Donahue Racing, and I must admit it is super nice lift kit. Keep us posted on what you decide and post pics.

I have had one truck with a super lift and would never own another. It rode horrible and made a lot of noise. I know of a bunch of people who have used them all with the same response. Pro comp makes a good lift along with sky jacker and fab-tech. Donahue rides great just more expensive. All depends on your budget. I have six inch sky jacker on my truck and rides barely stiffer than stock. Its all spring no blocks.

Superstiff is pretty crappy, Pro-Crap is really crappy. Skyjacker is probably on the high end of the cheap kits, but they're weird bible thumping almost makes me not recommend them. 'God forgive, rocks don't'. The past few years has shown they're cutting corners more.

Check out Rubicon express stuff, should be able to get it from your nearest jeep dealer. Good stuff, those guys are pretty serious about their toys.

procomp

I have the 6.5 procomp on mine, and its a good kit. not too hard to install. The only thing is it rides rough. But its a one ton truck, I don't care. I have had a few squeeks, but I can fix them. So really my only complaint is a rough ride. I would have gone with donahoe, but they are three times the price, and were backordered at the time.

I have the Procomp 6.5 lift on my truck and it is alot softer ride than my buddies I think it might be superlift not exacly sure he bought it that way

I also have the Procomp Double front shock kit seems to have helped quit a bit only thing I have noticed is that my 37x13.50x16.5s rub the fenders if off-roaded though that could have to do with the back spacing on the wheels
